Battery Testing Overview
Battery Systems consists of a string of batteries, battery charger, and alarms or alarm I/O, Battery Systems provide standby emergency power in the event of a power failure and are able to keep vital
subsystems operating such as: power distribution systems, protective relay equipment, computer based data systems, and communications. IEEE Standard 450 “serves as a valuable aid in maximizing battery life, preventing avoidable failures, and reducing premature replacement.” SES performs battery testing and inspections of battery systems.
